First of all, if you are just read the community portal on the wiki, then yes, I was the one who created this very topic there. The reason I posted there first is that, for me, Scratch is blocked by a blue screen that I'll talk about in the next part: At around 8:20-30 AM local time, I was just checking back Scratch on my laptop after a bit youtube when I met with the infamous "The Scratch Team is working hard to fix an issue with the Scratch website" screen, y'know, the one with blue background with a plant pot being watered? The announcement for the NGP did say “When the time comes, you can expect some downtime as we transition from Scratch’s current platform to our NGP.” and TUNQT coincidentally got closed shortly before this. At around 9 AM I switched to my tablet to see that it has come back to normal, and when I switched back to my laptop, at around 10 AM, Scratch is also back to normal. Now that the blue screen is gone and I can use the discussion forums again, I'll repeat the question: does that mean Scratch is moving right now or is it some other issue?

It was closed because of the arguments.

It was a server outage

Ah! It fooled me for a second there! Especially when it happened pretty close to the rumored release date. I'll keep this open so more opinions can flow in though!

I’m not sure, but if I were to guess, they probably are going to. But this server outage was only because codubee was moving the servers from MIT to Boston, I think.

A bit strange if you ask me imo because I’ve never been to Boston once in my life.

Yeah, it wasn't that. It was something related to our move.
